National Air Cargo/National Airlines

National Air Cargo and National Airlines form a family-owned group based in Orlando, Florida, in the United States. The group moves freight and passengers by air, land and sea. Its two arms are National Air Cargo, a global freight forwarder, and National Airlines, which flies cargo and passenger charters.

The group was founded in 1991 and is still privately held. It says it grew from a regional freight forwarder into a global operation with local ownership across continents. It has more than 35 years of experience.

National Air Cargo handles specialist freight forwarding for complex, oversized and mission-critical cargo. It moves hazmat, aerospace, pharma and ITAR-controlled defense freight through complex supply chains. The company designs the route, manages every mode of transport and clears the borders. It reaches 191 countries through its forwarding network, and it holds certification in nine dangerous goods classes.

National Airlines is a US flag carrier with a fleet of 16 widebody aircraft. It flies cargo charters for time-critical and oversized loads. It also flies passenger charters on the aircraft the customer specifies. A mission desk is staffed by people 24 hours a day. The airline served 450 airports last year across six continents, which it calls an industry record.

The group arranges its work by customer type. These are defense and aerospace cargo, VIP passenger charters with 200 or more seats, humanitarian and crisis response airlift, and heavy cargo for energy and industrial sites. Customers include governments and national programs, global enterprises, logistics and aviation partners, and relief organizations.

The company says it was the first US carrier to earn IATA IEnvA environmental certification. National Airlines has also earned all four IATA CEIV certifications. Recent news includes an order for more GE Aerospace CF6 and GE90 engines, a wider teardown logistics partnership with AerFin, and support for UAE government humanitarian relief efforts.
